@fatbaldman what what I've heard is that stores didn't expect to be able to sell this game. So they ordered very little. This isn't a problem in Europe though.
@SVTornado Cool. Didn't see them on the 1st page of the topic, so I wasn't sure if they were mentioned
I HIGHLY recommend going directly to NIS America for these games (if you're really into collecting, that is). They have some FANTASTIC looking bundles for each of these games (and more!) and they consistently sell out.
Anyway - just a suggestion. If you are a collector and you have the extra money to spend, DEFINITELY check these guys out: https://store.nisamerica.com/
@SVTornado right here its not even available on amazon
Hmmm... ...weird, because I was holding off on buying this one - waiting for it to go on sale (and I could SWEAR Best Buy had it as recently as a few days ago!!!). But now you're right - it's totally gone from their store.
That said, I did see it on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0788XQ6WW/) - and thanks to you and your post, I immediately placed my order!!! I hate having to pay full price for this, but I also don't want to run the risk of this being one of those "low production" run games, that I completely fail to get...
what up with payday 2 being not available at most places already?
Wow this is crazy...... I was looking for it last week but decided to wait. It should get a reprint but luckily 1 of 7 area Best Buy had one and I went to grab it. Collecting really is a roll of the dice. Thanks for the tip
For sh*ts and giggles, figured I would check eBay for Lost Sphear - the scalpers are ALREADY asking for (and RECEIVING) over $100 for this game, now!! Crazy...
Does anybody know what the situation is with Aqua & Snow Moto Racing??
We've got them listed here as "released" (and they were released in the UK) - but I'm finding NA release information scarce. I did just note them as available for a 4/24 release on Gamestop - does anyone know if this is true and accurate???
One more question for the evening: Any suggestions as to where to purchase some of these imports? I'm having a great deal of problems trying to order these without getting scammed - especially the German import ones (Island Simulator, Tales of the Tiny Planet, etc.). Just wondering if any of you have been purchasing these games and, if so, where you've been doing so.
Specific games in question (some of these we have as "release", but might actually still be "pre-order only":
Aqua & Snow Moto Racing (mentioned in my previous post)
Vegas Party (UK Import)
Ostwin Das Spiel (Germany Import)
Island Flight Simulator (Germany Import)
Tales of the Tiny Planet (Germany Import)
If you guys can point me to some reputable retails (NOT eBay!!) where I can get some or all of these games, I would REALLY appreciate it!!
@TalonMan for aqua and snow racing, check maybe Amazon.co.uk. Vegas party was already listed here. Island flight simulator isn't actually a German exclusive anymore, it's available in other parts of Europe. And Tales of the Tiny planet I'm still trying to get myself.

Very confused by these two games...
Released in the PAL regions sometime last year.
GameStop in only retailer that has a listing that was originally set to be released 3/27/2018 and now has been pushed back.
Another similar is Voez released in Japan 1/28/18 but now the US version is listed on Amazon.

THANKS!!!
Aqua & Snow Moto Racing (mentioned in my previous post). I purchased mine from a company YGZ.nl but they don't ship to the US and you will have to use a forwarding company (WILL BE RELEASED IN US AT SOME POINT)
Vegas Party (UK Import) - hasn't been released. Pre-Order on Amazon.co.uk
Ostwin Das Spiel (Germany Import) amazon.de and they will ship this title to the US
Island Flight Simulator (Germany Import) amazon.de the won't ship to the US and you will have to use a forwarding company
Tales of the Tiny Planet (Germany Import) amazon.de the won't ship to the US and you will have to use a forwarding company
I bought Ostwin Das Spiel from a German seller on Ebay for 80 bucks Canadian. The seller had 5 for sale, but since I bought it, the seller upped the price to 170. Nuts. Got lucky i am thinking.
